Married By The Bible, Divorced By The Law

G
What a strange world we live in,
       C                A7
What a shame, Oh what a shame!
D                                               G
Someone's always quarrellin' the marriage don't remain.
                                  C           A7
Divorces by the thousands; is the human race insane?
  D                                               G
I always thought that marriage should be a sacred thing.

                     C                A7
Married By The Bible Divorced By The Law;
D                                                 G
Ev'ry day there's more and more, the worst I ever saw.
                                                 C
Things have changed, they're not the same as the days of
                                                        A7
                                                 Ma and Pa,
           D                                        G
They were married by the Bible, no divorces by the law.




                           C             A7
Steps are often taken with-out thinking twice
    D
And often there's a child or two who's left to pay the
                                                     G
                                                     price.
                                      C
Those little hearts so innocent they don't know who's to
                                                      A7
                                                     blame,
    D                                                 G
No Mom and Dad to love them, what a shame, oh what a shame!
